Chapter 4: Is that a wolf...?

As I follow trail cautiously and silently, I pointed down my flashlight and lowered the brightness, enough just to see the trail and to avoid getting unwanted attention. I also check my shoulders from time to time just in case someone is following me. This is actually not the first time when I have to go to a dangerous area alone so I have somewhat more confident than the last time that I can pull this off.

After awhile of following the trail, I came across a man, kneeling down and he looks like he's doing something. I can't see his face nor what he was doing because he was facing the opposite direction.

"Excuse me, sir. Are you alright?" I asked him as I approach him cautiously.

There's no respond. He probably can't hear me because of the rain. So I tried to go closer to him so that he could hear my voice. But, as I got closer, something is weird. The way he moves is like he's eating and I can vaguely see the food on his hand. Wait, why would he be eating food under a heavy rain and in the middle of the woods!? That doesn't make any sense at all!

As much as I don't want to scare off this man and potentially gave him a heart attack, I decided to point my flashlight directly at him. He still eating something and seems he didn't noticed the light. I got curious as to what he was eating, so I slowly aim my flashlight lower to his side and what I see next makes me horrified...

I saw a woman laying on the ground where the man supposed to be eating.

"FREEZE! THIS IS THE POLICE! PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE BACK, NOW!" I shouted as I pull my Glock pistol out of my holster and aimed at him.

The man stands up and turns around. His mouth is stained with red. I glanced over to the woman and I see her stomach is wide open like, I can see her innards outwards. In lesser fancy words, I see intestines hanging outside of her stomach. Oh god, I feel like I'm gonna puke.

As I'm feeling utterly disgusted as I realized that this man was eating her, the man started to slowly moving towards me.

"FREEZE! DON'T MOVE!" I said as I shouted even louder.

"help...me..." The man said weakly.

"I SAID FREEZE!I'M GONNA SHOOT IF YOU DON'T STOP!" I said as I turn off the safety mode of my pistol.

"help...MEEEE!" The man shouted as he charges to me.

I pull the trigger and fires the pistol with one shot, hitting him in the chest.

As I thought that he would be dead from that shot, he still keeps running towards me as if he didn't get shot. I got caught off guard and he manage to pin me down, biting my arm in the process.

"AGGGHHH-! LET...GO OFF ME!" I screamed as he kick the man off me.

"YOU FUCKING CRAZY OLD MAN! BACK OFF OR I'LL SHOOT YOU!" I shouted as I stands up, pulls out my pistol and aimed at him.

Of course, he didn't listen and charges towards me. I shot him in the upper leg but to my surprise, it didn't fazed him at all. I shot him on his stomach but he still didn't stop at all and he still charges towards me in the same speed like nothing happened.

"WHY..WON'T..YOU..GO..DOWN!" I shouted as I shoot this crazy man with my pistol over and over again until I shot his head, only when the crazy man finally drops down to the ground.

"(Panting) Finally... This crazy old man is dead..." I said as check his corpse if he's still alive.

I went to the woman and yeah, I can confirm that's she's really dead. It's like something you would see in any other zombie films like The Crawling Dead or the games like Dead Falling. This is really weird of me feeling nostalgic from my old memories of playing videogames with Annie.

I hope he's not a zombie cause he just bit my arm which is a big no no in any zombie apocalyptic world. Like, no one is crazy enough to make a zombie virus, right?
